Annie Katerine Maco Quispe and Corey Andrew Jacobson were married April 27 in a self-uniting ceremony at the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. On May 4, they are to take part in a second ceremony, incorporating Jewish wedding traditions and led by an uncle of the groom, Rabbi David Weis, at Villa Mamacona, an events space in Lima, Peru.
The bride, 29, works in Washington as the deputy head of digital diplomacy at the Embassy of Peru. In August, she is to begin studying for a master’s degree in graphic design at the Maryland Institute College of the Arts. She graduated from the University of Lima.
She is the daughter of Maria Quispe de Maco and Jorge A. Maco of Washington. The bride’s father is the principal of the Lima-based law firm Maco & Llerena. Her mother, a hair stylist in Washington, previously owned a chain of beauty salons in Peru.
The groom, who is also 29 and works in Washington, is the legislative director and national security adviser for Representative Ted Lieu, Democrat of California. He is also an officer in the United States Navy Reserve. He graduated summa cum laude from George Washington University and received a master’s degree in global politics from the London School of Economics.
He is a son of Jill W. Jacobson and Alan Jacobson of Walnut Creek, Calif. The groom’s mother retired as a special-education teacher at several schools in the Bay Area. His father is a San Francisco-based author of more than a dozen suspense and thriller novels featuring the F.B.I. profiler Karen Vail. His most recent novel, “Dark Side of the Moon,” was published in 2018 by Open Road.
The couple met in 2014 through the bride’s mother, who introduced her daughter to the groom, who had entered her hair salon seeking a haircut.
